I came here for lunch and it was a great experience. On Swann offers interior and exterior sitting, just be careful of the no-see-ums, when sitting outside. Connor was my waiter and he was friendly and attentive. Check on my table frequently and knew the menu well as he recommended a few options. I really enjoyed the spring salad and added blackened chicken. For the entree, I tried the chicken sandwich that was delicious and love the fries. I highly recommend On Swann! read more

Came back here again but for Mother's Day brunch. We had an amazing visit as usual. However I was super bummed that the menu no longer offers the fried green tomatoes, as those were my favorite here. This time I ordered the smoked Salmon and it was delicious. I had a few bites of the cinnamon roll, which was still amazing. I looked over at my dad's plate which was the short rib hash, and it did not look that great. It was very minimal looking. I tried the famous kale salad and it was bland. My bf ordered the chicken and waffles and was disappointed with the chicken. It was kind of dry and he would have preferred an actual fried peice of chicken instead of tenders. I would still come back here but maybe for dinner next time instead. read more

We had a reservation, but arrived 30 minutes early and were still able to sit. Our server quickly brought us water and took our order. Friends warned me it would be very loud, which it was, but knowing this ahead of time helped. Brunch was so nice and the decor is so stylish. My boyfriend joked that the customers were all women, so it's definitely a great place to go with your girls. read more

We celebrated a few family birthdays at On Swann and we had the most perfect night! The attention to detail was so impressive here. Everything felt very intentional from the custom "Happy Birthday" menus to the amazing customer service. We were treated to complimentary palate cleansers and two warm funfetti cookies for dessert (they were sooo yummy!). I like that the atmosphere is elegant without being over-the-top fancy. We all enjoyed our meals. We started with the burrata for an appetizer, which was fresh and served with thin crackers. I ordered the kale salad and hot chicken, both were very good. It is definitely worth it to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday here! read more

We love coming to On Swann!! We enjoyed a little Saturday night date night at this quaint spot in Hyde Park. We booked a table for 5pm and by the time we left at 7, there wasn't a seat left in the house (including outside seating). We started with a bottle of Pinot from Ken Wright Willamette Valley (US's hidden gem for vineyards). So good. We enjoyed our fav apps--Pimento Cheese and the kale salad. For our entrees we enjoyed the Grouper with rice and vegetables and the scallops with cauliflower puree. Shoutout to all the servers. They work so hard and are always on top of making sure glasses are full. We'll be back soon!! read more

Another stellar nite of eats at On Swann. We came here to celebrate my dear friends birthday. Our server Priscilla helped guide us through the menu with her recommendations. She was awesome, loved her energy. Side note: their menu changes according to the seasons. We had the opportunity to try the Fall menu. My faves were Zeppole with the amazing dipping sauces, Kale Salad, Lamb meatballs with the melt in mouth grits, Arancini balls (wow) and of course the dessert board ( we went for Bread pudding,decadent chocolate cake and cobbler). My friend raved about the chicken but it was too sweet for me. There was nothing "hot" about the chicken. Empanadas were lost on us, was lacking texture. Lastly the hummus, i didn't like this at all. I did not like the braised lamb hummus, something was off. Too acidic. A few hiccups but overall it was a fantastic nite surrounded by friends and amazing food. read more

On Swann is a very open restaurant that makes you feel fresh and comfortable. They play very upbeat music at a low volume that I enjoyed. It's in a Hyde park strip of very nice stores so after eating you can always have a good time. Because I came on Easter parking was very hard but usually it should be easy to find a spot! The food was set neatly and the servers came to clean very often. I got the BLT and it was very flavorful only downside was the bread was very greasy, it took away the healthy fresh feeling of the sandwich. The other dishes served were all delicious, the burger looked amazing will be coming back to try it. Honestly very nice spot no complaints would recommend for everyone to stop by. read more

My son and I first came here for a "one last great meal before leaving Tampa" and it was certainly a good decision. Love how lively and comfortable the dining room is... white and soft moss colors with plenty of light and busy, yet simple decor. Open ceiling exposing all the overhead pipes (water, fire, AC ducts and lighting) give it that industrial hint but somehow still feels a bit country-ish with their distressed, communal teal tables. We started off with an order of their MUSSELS to share (green curry coconut milk and coriander served with delicious garlic toast). Move over Pepsi, On Swann makes Craft Sodas and we tried a couple of them. I had a WATERMELON soda (think it had ginger beer in it) and my son had a HONEY ORANGE soda. My son loved his BLT SANDWICH... heirloom tomatoes, smoked bacon, frisée, seasoned mayonnaise on challah bread. He said the bread made the sandwich special. I went with the SPICY BUTTERMILK CHICKEN SANDWICH (with celery root slaw, honey butter and dill pickles on a brioche bun). Although I thought it was too big a bun for the chicken size it was still a delicious balance of flavors. Overall, ON SWANN is ON POINT ! read more

We had brunch at On Swann recently. We enjoyed our food. We ordered Burger that came with fries and lavash with pimento cheese, drinks were good as well. We could not try a lot of other dishes or any desserts as we were flying out of Tampa, didn't want any leftovers. Some of brunch items looked good - pancakes or french toast. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Its a busy place, so if you really want to try it- make reservations. read more

What makes or breaks an establishment sometimes is the staff. Well no worries here as everyone was spot on, from the hostess, the bus staff and our Server Taylor. From start to finish she was on top of everything from recommendations to polite banter about many things. Drink selection was good and then oh dough nut old fashion kind of unique. Food was also done really well and enough to bring home for tomorrow. No lie the bread pudding is amazing and my birthday cookie an added treat. If you're in the area give it a try and maybe you'll be lucky enough to have Taylor as your server. read more

This place was excellent! Would definitely recommend a reservation as we came for a work dinner with 10 people on a Wednesday and the place was packed (we did have a reservation). Restaurant itself is nicely spaced, also have outdoor seating with fire heaters. Bathroom was clean. The food was fantastic. Of course I did not get pictures of everything but I did get pics of my short rib pasta which was very tasty. We also got a dessert board for our bosses birthday and the cookies were warm and yummy. I'd personally skip the chocolate cake as it was very rich but others at our table liked it. Not pictured - all the apps our table got. Empanadas and arancinis were absolutely my fave. Full of flavor! read more

Love this restaurant! The staff is so nice. We bought our dogs to eat outside on the patio and they kept coming over to pet our dogs. So sweet! I got the short rib pasta and it was a bit salty but so so good! I was able to finish my whole dinner. The meat was tender and plentiful. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The only thing that sucks is that the two parking garages that they are near is always packed and really hard to find a spot. read more

We went for brunch at On Swann last Sunday. We booked our reservation in advance. The roadside parking was full, so we parked in the garage nearby. When we entered the restaurant, we were greeted at the register and seated at our table. We were greeted by our server Caroline with menus.After checking out the menu, we started our order with appetizers, which included Italian Doughnuts, Croissant, Truffle Fries and for drinks we ordered Sober Mule, Watermelon-Strawberry, and coffee. For brunch, we ordered Avocado Toast, Mushroom Toast, Chicken Sandwich, Gemelli Pasta and Smoked Salmon. Soon we got our order for appetizers and drinks. From the appetizers, Truffle Fries were well made, Italian Doughnuts were also a good start to the brunch. We soon got our order for brunch, too. The Chicken Sandwich was delicious, tasty with a well-made chicken patty. The Smoked Salmon was delicious and well-cooked to perfection. The Gemelli Pasta was excellent as well, although the first portion I received was slightly undercooked.I returned it and received a perfectly cooked version, which was equally delicious and well made. Sunday brunch at the restaurant was great, with excellent service and delicious food. read more

On Swan is a restaurant associated with Palihouse Hyde Park Hotel. The dining area inside is huge and very popular, so expect it to be noisy, and you best make reservations. It also has very nice outdoor dining. The menu covers just about any dish one might want and the foot is very good. I had the seared scallops that were done to perfection and uniquely served with a delicious pomegranate sauce on a bead of spinach. My partner had a hanger steak that he really liked. Our service was polite and top notch professional. The seating, mostly without cushions on stamped steel chairs isn't the most comfortable. Overall, On Swan is enjoyable with better than average food. read more

First time customer and I am a fan. The atmosphere is inviting and I especially liked the bar area. Our bartender was wonderful and my martini was yummy. The bartender shared thoughts on the menu, so I knew what I was getting before I sat at my table. Once at the table, our server was quick to bring water. I ordered a glass of Pinot noir, which was my only disappointment. The pour was bleak. I settled on the skirt steak which came with a Gouda Mac and Cheese. Food arrived timely and was piping hot, which I LOVE. The presentation was interesting on a wooden board. The skirt steak was marinated and tasted awesome. The Mac and cheese was equally as good, so overall the meal was amazing. I would definitely return!!! read more

Came in here for dinner on a Friday night. It seemed to be pretty busy even after 9:00 p.m. we decided to split the ribeye dinner. It was more than enough for two people. We asked for a medium rare and that's how it came out. I do feel like it needed a little bit more flavor it needed salt. It was still very good though. All the employees were super friendly. There is a parking garage down the street that is free to park. read more

We came here celebrating our 10th anniversary. They printed out a menu with "Happy Anniversary" on top, which was a nice touch. We also got these little spoons of some sort of plantain taster... I don't remember the details but it was one of the best bites of food we had. Really awesome start to our meal. We tried the saffron arancini, which were nice and crisp on the outside and the sauce was delicious with it. The hot honey chicken was so excellent - definitely a must get! I tried the pork chops which had a great tasting crust and sweet soft apples. The cabbage was vinegary and just fresh. But the cheesy grits were just over the top - so good! Amazing texture for grits. My husband got the steak frites, which he found enjoyable. Our server was excellent, checking on us and I noticed she fixed an error when they were about to bring out the wrong item before it even came to us. Super trendy inside, and we've heard it's super packed all the time. The sound was a little loud for us. All in all, we really enjoyed it! read more

Atmosphere - Excellent! The restaurant has a cool industrial vibe. The kitchen is open to the dining area. Tables and chairs are varied and there is a lot of metal. Unlike many restaurants that have an industrial design, the dining area is not overly noisy. Service - Excellent! Our server was great, as were the bartenders. Food - Excellent! I ordered the Pan Roasted Grouper which was placed on top of rice pilaf in a lemon basil butter sauce. It was cooked at a perfect temperature. The rice in the lemon butter sauce was delicious. Overall Value - Excellent! The portion size was generous and the price very reasonable. The only ding from an otherwise excellent dining experience was that the glass of wine was a little lite in it portion. I will certainly return and recommend the restaurant to my friends. read more

It's been quite a few years since I visited On Swann, but I was thrilled to see that they still served my favorite kale salad. I get it without the bacon to make it vegetarian, but this tower of kale and pecans and Parmesan along with some other yummy surprises satisfies every time. Because I was enjoying a birthday lunch with a friend, we opted to share a dessert, and our server excitedly recommended the bread pudding. What a great recommendation! It was out of this world - so rich and delicious with a light and fluffy texture. The service was lovely and the interior of On Swann is always a vibe. Grateful for a delicious lunch with a sweet friend in a comfortably chic space. read more

Located in the lovely Hyde Park Village in the Southside of Tampa, On Swann is a class restaurant that is both hip and full of delicious cooking, bringing us to a place of nirvana and Zen. The design comprises both high ceilings in some areas, but more down-to-earth intimacy, such as with the lounge seating, which looked very cool. From the initial cocktails, I was impressed with their delivery and presentation, such as the Umami Blanc. The tequila-based cocktail included Derrumbes Durango, Green Chartreuse, Miso Agave, and Coconut Milk with Lime and Coconut Water Saline Foam on top. For starters, they served us a complimentary deconstructed shakahuka, made gluten-free in honor of my wife's birthday, which was delectable. For starters, we split the Beef Carpaccio arugula that was magical with the aji amarillo aioli, parmesan, and truffle oil. The Hot Chicken crisp tenders were absolutely stellar with the spicy buttermilk batter and paprika honey butter and romesco aioli. Personally, I could have just ordered the Beef Carpaccio and the Hot Chicken crispy tenders. That completely satisfied me to the point where I had to take the Pork chop back home after attempting to make a dent in it, as I was already full. But make no mistake, the double chop Pork Chop was blissful between pairing with the peach mostrada and Anson Mills cheddar grits. It was made with magic and mystical wonderment. Would come back here the next time I am in town. On Swann is on point. read more

Really excellent place to go to for brunch or dinner! Always loved this restaurant in the Hyde Park neighborhood. It's simultaneously classy but also fits the neighborhood vibes. Service was great, with food coming out fast, friendly servers, and drinks always kept full. Really enjoyed the variety of small plates, as well as the brunch options. The one thing to be aware of is that this place can get pretty loud since it's so popular. So keep that in mind if you are planning on having some deep conversations over a meal. But otherwise, an excellent place :) read more

The interior of On Swann is stunning, lots of windows, upscale, but not too fancy, comfortable seating, and nice lighting. Our server, Darlington, was so sweet and offered some cocktail suggestions. I settled on the Life Gives You Lemons, a gin and limoncello cocktail, and it was refreshing (I ended up getting a second one!). My friend and I shared the kale salad, beef carpaccio, and the green curry mussels. The presentation of the kale salad is so cool, like a mountain of kale and parmesan, with all the goodies inside. The beef was presented perfectly, and the mussels were the star for me! I couldn't get enough of the green coconut sauce, almost needed to more garlic toast to sop it up! We had a wonderful experience here and will definitely return. Parking in Hyde Park can be tricky at times, but they do have some parking behind the building. read more

Excellent drinks and meal at On Swann. I haven't been here for a long time but it's still great ambiance, service and food. We sat at the bar, shared a lovely bottle of Pinot noir and had a couple small plates to share. We had the beef carpaccio, lamb meatballs and acorn squash with mascarpone cream and candied pecans. The beef carpaccio melted in my mouth, it was fantastic. We also had the bread pudding to finish with ice cream. Overall an excellent meal. It was a Tuesday night and it was still packed. It's best to park in one of the free parking garages or on the street near the restaurant or they offer valet parking in front of the building. read more

I was finally able to cross this place off my list! My husband took me for a date night and we went the day before New Year's Eve. One of the coldest nights in Tampa. It was busy. I think all the out of town family that came down for the holidays all decided to go this particular night. I loved the outfits of the hostess. They looked cozy and comfortable making it feel like it was a family restaurant and didn't make me feel out of place for wearing jeans. I had wishes I sat closer to see the kitchen but the ambiance was nice. The restaurant would have fit perfectly in a place like Charleston, SC. Very homey but still fancy enough for Hyde Park. The food was delicious. I started with a beet salad which was so tasty. The only difference I would make would have been to add more whipped feta. It was big enough that we both were able to share. Then my husband had the beef carpaccio with pomme frites while I had the burger. Although I was given ketchup with my burger and fries, the harissa aioli was the better option to have with the fries in our opinion. My friends told me I should go for brunch, so looks like I have to go back to try out that menu. The menu is on the expensive side, so if budget is an issue you may be limited to your options but you will still have a great meal. And our server Natalia was very sweet and quick. Just had to wait a bit for the check because she was running all over the place. Like I said, it was very busy. read more

Hearing all of the great things and never having time to visit, my boyfriend surprised me for our anniversary with dinner reservations at On Swann and this place surprised our already high expectations! We loved how quaint and intimate the inside was. It wasn't an overly large restaurant and the vibe was comfortable and cozy. From the moment we got seated, our service was absolutely phenomenal! Starting with custom Happy Anniversary menus, a sweet card from the staff and a glass of champagne to start our meal, the bar continued to get raise higher and higher. Our server Thomas was so helpful as we made our food decisions (the menu has so many good options it was tough to choose!!). We opted for the Saffron Arancini for our nibble option. These were delicious and although fried rice balls, very light and lots of flavor. The Burrata was the perfect starter to follow - light, also very flavorful and refreshing before getting our main entrees. I chose the Steak Frites which came out cooked perfectly and the fries were delicious. My boyfriend got the Short Rib Pasta and added burrata for some extra cheese and we were bigggggg fans! As we finished our bottle of an Argentinian Malbec, we made room for dessert and this is an absolute MUST. I can't recall the name, but our server recommended the cake with vanilla ice cream (pictured) and it was just PERFECT! Not too heavy after our meal and unlike any dessert I've had. We were floored by how On Swann exceeded our high expectations and went above and beyond to celebrate a special occasion for us. We will definitely be back!! read more

Today my friend and I visited On Swan in Hyde Park for lunch. I had been looking forward to trying several items I'd seen featured in various Yelp reviews, but when we arrived, I noticed that the lunch selection was limited. They were offering what I believe was their summer lunch or summer brunch menu. While smaller than I expected, the menu did include the kale salad I had been eyeing, and my friend ordered it. I opted for the BLT. Both dishes were delicious, but I have to admit -- the kale salad was the star. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, it was absolutely outstanding. We had a 1:30 reservation, but we weren't seated until about 1:45. Despite the short wait, our server was friendly and attentive, and the service overall was excellent. The restaurant's ambiance was stylish yet comfortable, and it was bustling during our visit. While I wasn't disappointed with the food, I would recommend visiting for dinner if you're hoping to enjoy their full menu, as the lunch options were a bit limited. Still, the quality of the dishes, the great service, and the inviting atmosphere make me eager to return -- next time for dinner so I can explore more of what On Swan has to offer. read more

I had a lovely meal here last night. I enjoyed the ambiance with the outdoor seating and the staff was friendly and accommodating to my dog. I ordered the beet salad which was fantastic. The lamb meatballs were also delicious, as was the fig tart, although the crust was just a bit soggy. However the flavors were on point. The chocolate was good, but a little too sweet for my tastes. I asked for a wine recommendation from the waiter and unfortunately I was not a fan of the red wine he recommended. This place is a little pricey but I enjoyed the food and the experience.

I gave 4 stars purely based on the food. I came for lunch and wasn't impressed with the menu. It was mediocre. The actual taste of the food was good but nothing really to write home about. I tried all the staples and wasn't impressed. The kale salad was inventive but lacking flavor and was kinda sweet. The arancini was delicious and empanadas were good but a bit small. The chicken sandwich was again very regular. The grilled cheese was good . Our drinks were very well Made and the service was awesome. The restaurant was very busy on a Thursday afternoon so i recommend a reservation. Overall it was an ok experience, i wasn't wowed. read more

We started off at the bar with a bottle of Rombauer, Sauvignon Blanc, which was delicious and refreshing after our walk to On Swann from our nearby Airbnb in Hyde Park. We actually heard from our waitress the previous night in Sarasota that On Swan was one of her favorite places. Between her positive comments and the high Yelp ratings, I was excited and looking forward to eating at On Swann. The restaurant is an open space on the inside, like a large cafeteria but much nicer. The first thing we noticed that it was rather loud, with the dozens of simultaneous conversations of all the patrons (mostly "young", which in my world means less than 30) enjoying their meals, which created a buzz and excitement. We took our opened bottle of wine to the table and ordered a few appetizers, including the white asparagus soup which was delicious, the zeppole, saffron arancini and the burrata. We enjoyed them all. For mains, we tried the scallops (which our waitress the previous night recommended) and the half chicken. The dishes took awhile to arrive. They were very good. I thought the scallops were perfectly cooked, but that perhaps the other items on the plate overwhelmed the scallops, which tend to be light, delicate, and subtle-flavored. I did like the seasoned, long piece of dried seaweed that covered the dish; of course, you eat that first while looking at your dish - it was a very nice touch. The half chicken was well cooked and very good, toward the realm of refined comfort food. I would give On Swann a high 4 out of 5. I would love to go back to try the other items on the menu. read more
